Lyrics
In my quest and my search for God
I found something that struck me as rather odd
I was looking for the fire, the bright light, the blaze of glory
Fall to my knees, Angel of the Lord before me
You've heard the stories, we've been taught the lessons
Mighty men of God ushered into the presence
Of an Almighty King with an urgent message
Deliver my people out of their oppression
But ah, if I follow one example of Christ
I've been walking past Jesus all my life
I've seen the hungry and thirsty and ain't broke bread
I've seen the stranger, the naked, and turned my head
Seen the sick and afflicted, those in prison
Ain't visited a soul, dead religion
Here I am looking for signs but missing the signs
I must be blind, Lord, help me to renew my mind
Cuz we are the Body of Christ
And we've all been called by the Giver of Life
To make the ultimate sacrifice
Give our lives for another, yeah I know, that's some hard advice
But if we're all here to follow Christ
Then we all need to model His life
Cuz there are no desperados in Christ and there's no need to hobble through life
When you've got all this family in the Body of Christ
Now we all talk about seeking the face of the Lord
But that don't always mean we need to put our face to the floor
I've been confessing, professing how I walk in His light
But all along I'm neglecting the Body of Christ
Something's wrong, am I really in the will of God
If I won't let you feel my heart
If my steel façade won't allow me to reveal my scars
Or if I don't want to deal with yours, Lord help me
See we all got different complexions,
Different backgrounds, we all got different perspectives
And we all came from different directions
But we're all looking forward to the same resurrection
And we're all walking toward the same state of perfection
We all have the same Father God, it's the same connection
Same Spirit living in us, working through us
Whether you're white, black, yellow, or Jewish, come on
Cuz we are the Body of Christ
And we've all been called by the Giver of Life
To make the ultimate sacrifice
Give our lives for another, yeah I know, that's some hard advice
But if we're all here to follow Christ
Then we all need to model His life
Cuz there are no desperados in Christ and there's no need to hobble through life
When you've got all this family in the Body of Christ
Am I in the right place today
I know the Lord has a place for me, I've got a question though
Is my father in the house today
I never knew mine and now he's passed away, just hear me y'all
Is my mother in the house today
Cuz mine's 2000 miles away, Lord help me please
Is my brother here amongst my peers
My real one locked away, he'll be gone 20 years
Is anyone in need of a son, or a brother
I can be the one, I think we need each other
So let's greet each other, receive each other
So we can feed each other, relieve each other
See we might as well get together since we're knit together
Forever, plus there's strength together whenever
We stick together, God's endeavor
Is to show humanity the love in His family
Cuz we are the Body of Christ
And we've all been called by the Giver of Life
To make the ultimate sacrifice
Give our lives for another, yeah I know, that's some hard advice
But if we're all here to follow Christ
Then we all need to model His life
Cuz there are no desperados in Christ and there's no need to hobble through life
When you've got all this family in the Body of Christ
